Please call ahead if you have a ton of books to trade in

We have to go through the books, figure out the credit, check all the books by hand and send back books we can’t use or don’t meet our needs.

If you show up here hauling books by the box-load and we have customers stacked up in the store, or we have to close the store early (see our previous post), we’re going to send you away, and I apologize for that.

But we can’t rush through the process and you can’t just dump books here. We’re not a thrift store (they don’t want things dumped on them, either), nor are we the dumpster. We have to pay for the space to throw books away if you abandon unneeded books here.

Again, my apologies, but I thought this was unsaid sense about a bookstore.
